Are you a direct sales rep who’s making money by selling products from direct sales companies and you have a lot of information to track on a daily basis? Mompreneurs and entrepreneurs who run direct sales from their homes can find it challenging to keep up with the details. Are you one of these entrepreneurs who has mounds of papers, file folders, and sticky notes and could benefit from a better way to manage the details of your business?

See Everything at a Glance

When you’re in direct sales or running a home-based business, you need to see your commitments and client information in a single glance. This is precisely what the LightArrow Dashboard does. Enjoy easy-to-read, accurate data at your fingertips.

Organize Client, Prospect and Team Member Details

Collecting information about your contacts is imperative for success. Manage a variety of information for team members, prospects and clients including phone numbers, emails, locations, personal dates, social media handles and more. Create custom fields for orders, notes, references or any type of information you wish to record about your contacts. Organize contacts among groups and instantly communicate with them.

Manage Follow-ups with Contact Logs

Planning follow-ups of leads, customers, team members and other contacts is essential for winning at your direct sales business. Plan timely follow-ups by tracking communications through contact logs. Manage all your contact groups in a spreadsheet-like view with filters showing you who you need to contact based on many factors, such as the last contact date or last order date.

Track Sales Progress

Track progress of direct sales by using goal setting or by creating custom fields for contacts that holds the information that represents success in your home-based or direct sales business.

Keep Client Notes

Direct sales reps who take the time to talk to their clients and record detailed notes about their clients’ wants and needs are winning sales reps. Keeping notes about your contacts helps you easily remember important information about each of your clients and prospects. It also helps you to build effective follow-ups and participate in engaging conversations. Take notes (text, audio, video, photo and hand-written) and associate these notes directly with your contacts.

Be More Efficient from Maps and Locations

Location awareness gives direct sales reps one-tap access to a view of LightArrow app items that are in the vicinity of their current location. Set a location for contacts, assets, appointments, audio, events, notes, photos, shopping items, service providers, tasks, trips, or video, and you can view these items on the map, which helps you plan your day — especially if you’re running errands or visiting clients. It is powered by foursquare®, which allows you to search for arts & entertainment, events, food, shops, and other types of businesses near you, and also convert these business to Places, Sellers, Banks, or Service Providers.

Stay on Top of Your Schedule

Those in direct sales and those who are running home-based businesses use a variety of calendars to stay on top of their schedules. This is why LightArrow Organizer offers different calendar and agenda views, as well as supercharged calendar management. Unify your calendars, and add a variety of items to your schedule, such as projects, tasks, checklists, bills, events, appointments and more.

Track Expenses and Assets

LightArrow Organizer catalogs the assets direct sales reps and owners of home-based businesses lease or own, coordinates the trips they take, and helps them monitor their money through payments and expenses. Get a handle on deposits and total income by managing lists of transactions and tracking expenses.

Organize Events, Meetings and Parties

For those who plan parties and client meetings to demonstrate and sell products, keeping the details straight can be daunting. Manage all the information related to events you’re attending and hosting. Create events, choose the invitees for the events, and email the invitees directly from the app. Mark the invitees who plan to attend and the invitees who have declined invitations. Associate important items with events, such as bookmarks to your product website; tasks for things to do; locations; service providers, such as caterers; and travel related items.

Manage Projects and Tasks

In direct sales, there are times that you’re required to manage big projects that must be broken down into tasks. LightArrow Organizer gives you the ability to create, organize, prioritize, track, and check off even your most complex projects and tasks in a streamlined, natural, and easy-to-understand way. You can create projects and tasks for any type of work you wish to complete.

Track Things To Do and Make Checklists

In your home business, keeping track of the small details is just as important as the big ones. To-do lists and checklists ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

Manage Documents and Digital Information

Typically, direct sales reps are drowning in file folders and loose papers. That’s why we recommend that they use cloud services such as Dropbox™ to store electronic versions of papers. We also believe that productivity tools should never sit on their own little islands. That’s why we make it easy to access your online documents, notes and tasks from Google Docs, Evernote®, Toodledo®, Dropbox™, Box™ and OneDrive™ (SkyDrive).

Organize Social Media and Email

LightArrow Organizer is the first and only app for Mac and iOS that combines information feeds from email, social media and the web and also lets you convert this information to activities, such as tasks — saving your precious time. This is all accomplished through LightArrow Organizer’s inboxes.
